Is your _________ a psychopath?? (you know who I mean)
The "TodayShow" had a guy on with this right after their Rove coverage this morning.

So you can apply this to your boss or to anyone you want to, any national figure of power for example.

http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/96/open_boss-quiz.html


For each question, score two points for "yes," one point for "somewhat" or "maybe," and zero points for "no."

<1> Is he glib and superficially charming?
<2> Does he have a grandiose sense of self-worth?
<3> Is he a pathological liar?
<4> Is he a con artist or master manipulator?

<5> When he harms other people, does he feel a lack of remorse or guilt?
<6> Does he have a shallow affect?
<7> Is he callous and lacking in empathy?
<8> Does he fail to accept responsibility for his own actions?


If your boss scores:

1-4 | Be frustrated
5-7 | Be cautious
8-12 | Be afraid
13-16 | Be very afraid

1. W scores a 14
Question 5 is worded backwards in my opinion.

2. I used to date this guy.
If you're hiring a lawyer in Houston, check with me first, or you could be in big trouble.

3. My RightWing neighbor ( in the country ) says he is "harmless"
However he waters his garden in the buff then laughs and teases when people in the community mention it. He says "if God wanted me to be naked I would have been born this way." He gives me the creeps.
